:) Like ISSTH there is no plot formula (constant blood bath, arrogant comments, recycled plots, etc)
:) Cultivation world is more like ISSTH > Coiled Dragon type of cultivation
:) It doesn't get to the action right away, but spends quite a bit of time telling the story & building up suspense
: (It doesn't get to the action right away which may have thrown off a lot of readers & caused them to give up on the story before... more>>
ongoingfinished with 1400 chapters, I won't judge the "ending" a few reviews have a problem with. The reason for this "post" is that the sequel (A record of a mortal's journey to immortality: An immortal world) is not on this website - Now being translated by Qidian (10/04/2020) .... more>>- Not another 'white knight hero' adventure
- MC not OP
The Bad:- MC is a selfish, hypocritical, rationalizing, cowardly, pathological liar of a sociopath with a persecution complex. (I wish I were making this up). Oh, and no compassion, appreciation or loyalty.
- Most characters are some aspect of shitty to justify the MCs (still ridiculous) action/nature. Those that are not are lied to, cheated, insulted, bullied, ignored, mercilessly killed (or allowed to die), are forgotten. Often a combination of more than one.
- The MC is depicted as 'smart', but is actually just 'author justified via outcome' (ie- eventually 'right'- even if decision flawed because things turn out 'like they should'). Additionally, others do dumb things often to make him 'look smart' in comparison. He also displays contempt for almost everyone despite not being that great, or by having recently elevated to being over them (and of course forgetting how he felt being mistreated before).
- Plot armor is thick with this one, as much 'luck' drives the story. Another manifestation of 'easy progress' is when the MC suddenly has things he 'prepared earlier' (but didn't actually happen till 'retcon'ed in) into his possession. (*Retcon=RETroactive CONtinuity: when you are updated that 'it was actually/always this way' in the past)
- Overall this story is pop-up events, 'bad situation of the week' style. Overall there is no growing, driven plot- instead you'll see 'Overcoming Location A' as the first main arc (to around 350), and (presumably) 'Overcoming Location B/Return to Location A' (possibly) as the second.
- This thing is huge (2400+ chapters), and I can't say it's all 'worth it' (if the bit I've read is any indicator).
- Most aspects of plot are both forced, and (overall) inconsequential. Many plot elements are suddenly dropped, then sometimes reintroduced hundreds of chapters later via 'extraordinary luck' (ie- happen to bump into a character from before after changing towns).
- The class-based discrimination is plentiful in this one, and the MC adopts to it like a fish to water-- mostly ignoring people (and their consequential fate from his action or inaction) due to his high level of contempt... but, remember- 'not a white knight' story.
- The author's sense of romance is disappointing. This is coming from someone who doesn't 'ship' and mostly could are less- but does expect the author to at least do more than 'brush up against' realistic human emotions/desires'. Well, MC is a sociopath, so... (*ship= 'relationSHP: where readers argue the pros & cons of potential mates for MC, and who they think should pair as 'best girl')
The Different:- MC is a pretty weaselly character, which is fairly obvious to anyone (though surprisingly many readers empathize & make excuses for his behavior).
- MCs effect on the world overall is actually minimal or negative (to date- ch 400).
- Plot seemingly designed to go nowhere, making MC a 'normal' in relation to aspects of 'the fate of the world'
I started this due to the great rep this had & the teaser from the 3d computer generated movie soon to come out. "Why not?" I think, then give it a try... I'm guessing the 'anti-hero' nature sells it? I dunno... Despite the many issues, many people like it. I though I could tolerate it's 'flaws'- but after the second sudden time skip/location change-- 'screw this'... It's honestly not very good (at least not as good as some might lead you to believe), but it is still interesting and I can see others finding it more enjoyable than I do- so you may have to try it yourself & see. Ultimately, you're watching the MCs development, and (to a lesser degree) learning about the world the MC is in (though unfortunately framed by the MC's needs and huge antisocial bias). People and interactions/relationships kinda happen, but mostly it's a story of 'Han's cultivation & the things that get in the way of it'. Seriously- that's 80% of it right there, and the rest ties into that somehow, has to do with Han needing to be safe (or... No- That's probably it.). There are a few slightly imaginative ideas in there about a few things that are normally done a different way- but nothing really notable so far. Anyway- Maybe it's what you'll like- but at least you know better what you're getting into. Well, the 1st 1/6th anyway. Around 1/3 is translated so far. Good Luck if you give it a go! As a side note, the site where it's being translated has a rather toxic community with regards to _any_ criticism of the novel, and even the editor came out and nastily asked me about my two year old comments and all the flack they drew from thin-skinned people who can't tolerate the slightest question/critique-- so if you go there- 'good luck to you- you are now warned', and that's all I'll say on the matter. Novel: Meh, Translating site: Ugh.
